I've got a workbook with several sheets that all have pretty much the same
list of spare parts on them that are all linked together somehow by formulas.
If I change the cell color on the master list I want the cell color to
change on all the lists. For example part A is overdue so I would change it
to red and all the sheets with part A on them would change to red. I hope
this makes sense.
Thanks in advance

Hi,

For a start and to be adjusted to your specific needs ...

Sub Dependents()
ActiveCell.Copy
ActiveCell.Dependents.Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlFormats, Operation:=xlNone,
SkipBlanks:= _
False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub

I'm assuming this is a macro which I am not very familiar with. But, I copy
and pasted what you type into my workbook. Was anything supposed to change?

instead of "xlformats" use
xlPasteFormats

try the above.
In such cases
after typing pastespecial if you make a space you get the download list and
you can click the necesary item.
